Hate in ActionPlus, Tom Tomorrow's Karl Rove talking points guide

If you don't have access to Salon, you can get a free one-day pass by watching a short ad. Anyway, Salon just began a four-part series on so-called "reparative therapy", a "method" of trying to force gay, lesbian and bisexual people straight through homophobic conservative Christian cult-like brainwashing. But the anti-gay groups have gone further, sucessfully suing school districts for not including their "point of view" that homosexuality is evil and immoral and "treatable" in public school sex ed programs (see my cartoon "Obscene Literature"). This is like insisting school programs on racial and ethnic diversity lack balance because they don't include the views of white supremacists.

Also, my editor at Bay Windows, Susan Ryan-Vollmar, did an interview with an ex-ex gay Love In Action grad a few weeks ago. (She also wrote an editorial the week before.)
